You don't seem to have realised that 8.14 was the first time that Monroe had asked for an apology. Before that she had simply asked for a deletion.
Eh?

How does it make this true and why I have been harping on...

The demand for an apology was not sincere.
Lies.
Monroe’s offer was not sincere and rapidly withdrawn
More lies.
I can see now where we have been talking at cross purposes.
I'm not at crossed anything. Can you show me where Monroe 'rapidly withdraws her offer? MBK has thus far failed.

It doesn't! I have no interest in your discussion with motorbiking.

I was asking a different question. But I am stopping now.
 
I think that depends on what would’ve happened had Katie Hopkins responded after Jack Monroes demand and apologised sincerely.
On the 18th of May, they had their Twitter spat. Hopkins had the chance to apologise and end proceedings thereafter.

On the 4th August the offer was rescinded, although Monroe made subsequent pleas for Hopkins to settle in the months leading to the court case.

2.5 months to apologise.
 
You don't seem to have realised that 8.14 was the first time that Monroe had asked for an apology.
And continued to do so for months. What's your point? It's as if you are saying they went from Twitter spat to court proceedings in 38 minutes, which is not true. There was a period of months where Hopkins could have apologised.

This is utter bollax...

He’s having a grizzle. He’ll be fine in a while. He’s deliberately ignoring your point because he wants to keep going in circles.

I think it would be hard to believe after all this debate that nosenout wasn’t aware the first request was a take down and it was complied with.
 
... the first request was a take down and it was complied with.
Erm:
on May 18, 2015, Ms. Hopkins published two tweets that were directed at Jack Monroe, a food blogger and political activist. The first tweet stated: “@MsJackMonroe scrawled on any memorials recently? Vandalised the memory of those who fought for your freedom. Grandma got any more medals?” [para. 17] (the First Tweet). Ms. Monroe then posted three tweets in response to the First Tweet in which she denied any involvement in the vandalism, asked Ms. Hopkins to delete “this lie”, and requested that she issue a public apology.

What point?
nosenout wasn’t aware the first request was a take down and it was complied with.
More irrelevant waffle.



These whoppers take some beating though...

Monroes' offer was not rapidly withdrawn. Nor can you show where it was. In fact the judgement states in paragraph 20, 3 days after the Twitter spat...

21st May 2015
The letter requested a correction and apology, an undertaking not to repeat this or similar tweets about Ms Monroe, payment of a “substantial donation” to a charity of Ms Monroe’s choice, and payment of legal costs. The form of correction and apology Ms Monroe wanted was spelled out: “A tweet to be sent at a date and time to be agreed, ‘I was confused about identity. I got it wrong. @MsJackMonroe I’m sorry. I have made a substantial donation to charity at her request.’”

So If the offer to make an apology is still there 3 days after the spat, how can it have been 'rapidly withdrawn'?

Rapidly withdrawn my arse.


Monroe's pleas for an apology to end proceedings ran for months, were sincere and went ignored. There was never an apology from Hopkins.

KH spent a lot of money instead of apologising.

With months (years?) to do it, and probably with stern advice form her own solicitors.

“These proceedings have been a nightmare,” Monroe told the court. “It has been an 18-month, unproductive, devastating nightmare.

“I did not want to be here today. I have offered several times though my lawyer to settle these proceedings outside court. This is the last thing that I wanted to be doing.”

Stupid woman.
 
How can a demand for an apology be not sincere
Especially when it's protracted and on offer for months.

'Make a donation'

Monroe said Hopkins had initially been asked to delete her tweet, but "she didn't respond to me being nice".
"She blocked me immediately instead of responding," Monroe said.
"So then I said, 'Make a donation and it goes away.'
"And she didn't respond to that. In the months that followed, I made several offers to her to make an apology [without receiving one]."

Monroe added: "I've got a lot of compassion for her actually.

Very sincere. Unlike Hopkins and MBK.
